Stop all your Prom-a. Ha. See what I did there? I need a life.

I always seem to find myself in really strange situations, probably more than most people do. No other person, however, is responsible for more strange situations than my sister, Valerie. Anything, and I mean anything, can become a potentially uncomfortable situation.

Sure, it may not seem that strange to you, but you haven't seen this girl eat corn. One second, there's an entire 1-pound bag of corn in my freezer, next, it's gone. Strangely enough though, half of it ends up trailing along my dorm room floor. It's confusing. But anyways, Val's uncanny addiction to corn pales in comparison to the events that have unfolded this past week.
 
You see, Valerie has been home schooled the past 2 years, and finally had a chance to enjoy her senior prom this year. She even had a date: one of our family friends and neighbor from back in the day. Everything was going perfectly. Too perfectly.

 

 

 

Let me put this in perspective for you: It's 2 weeks before the prom, we have to pick him up from another state, and he still needs a tux. This was all very feasible. Until:

Ok. No one really buys this to be honest and I figure "Hey. We'll find you another prom date if he decides to be a no-show." Easy. There's still enough time to get a tux. Surely someone else will go with Val. She's hilarious and awesome. He quickly says that he will in fact still go, but can't come down on the proposed day. Alright. We postpone our 10-hour trip until the following weekend, barely making deadlines for getting a tux. Suddenly, another roadblock stands in the way.

"Okay, we can do that," my family thinks in unison, "Just send us your measurements and we'll take it from there." No response. No tux measurements. It passed the deadline. No date. No time to get another one. All of the sudden, the checklist looks like this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The prom is this coming Saturday. I'm 21 and going with my sister. Technically, I'm not even allowed in there because I'm not under 18. All I can say with absolute certainty is that there will definitely be a new post about this soon.
